I always unsuccessfully tried to explain to people about religion, spirituality and their relation. " Religion is the container, spirituality is the content" conveys the whole concept of what I was thinking.
"Though it is important to discover spirituality for oneself ,I feel it is not necessary to keep reinventing the wheel" - This is something New Age Gurus are totally against and has brainwashed everyone. I checked out lot of them and everything boils down to same old things which have been told long back in all religions of the world.
Three basic things are necessary for anyone and everyone to live rightly either in Spiritual or Material life.
1. Good habits
2. Good Character
3. Mind Control and Meditation Techniques.
All meditation techniques whatever may be, boils down to two things....
1. Thought control
2. Handling Emotions
A Guru is born only when someone benefits from him either mentally, materially, physically, socially or spiritually. Otherwise why would one consider the other as Guru. A Religion is born when a group of people are benefitted from it for a longer period; otherwise it will go away. Every Religion starts with a Guru and continues to live till people benefit from it; as it has been told in that Religion. If a Guru or Religion does not live up to its sayings, it will die with the time. There are "n" number of Gurus and different ideologies raising every day and dying every day. Only few survive and these has good/strong foundation.
Read about any religion....may be a pamplet or small book which explains the basics or core tenents of each Religion. U don't find anything drastic different among them. May be "ethics and mode of living" differs with respect to the place and time but all other things are almost same.
Religion is like Democratic Constitution where a larger section of people under the leadership of a leader prescribes certain rules and methods for the benefit of all and the society. There may be some good laws and some bad laws. Every law is made because of a need and would have been approved by that society at that particular time. Yes, some laws have to be changed and some news laws are needed with the time.
If someone is having problem with Religion; then his/her problem is not with the Religion but with the laws and its lawmakers.
Every New Age Gurus or Philosophy address issues with laws. There are like middlemen or brokers within Government establishment. For example, for processing an application in an Government office, it may take one week but pay some bucks to middle men, u can have it by evening. In starting, it looks good and u are ready to spend money to save your time and efforts. There comes a time when everything has to go thru the middlemen only and u have to pay for it. Don't we see this in our Govenment offices. And u start critizing the Government for not working properly. But is it Government or Constitution which should be blamed? or is it Government employees? or the middlemen or brokers? Who should be blamed for this situation? It is neither Constitution, Government, Government employees nor middlemen/brokers.......it is YOU who should be blamed. U started this or someone like U may have started this and U are paying for that.
Gods, Religion, Priest, Guru, Followers are exactly like that.
New Age Gurus or Philosophies are like middlemen or corrupted Government employee. Don't get me wrong! Think twice before going to bash me. If someone is affected or thinks he is affected by certain laws but cannot change them; that person is shown an alternative by New Age. But is it a good alternative...really good in long run.
NOT ACCEPTING.....ALTERNATIVE FOR EVERYTHING.
We go on in circles doing this or that but whatever philosophy it may be, whoever Guru u may have, whatever Religion or belief u may follow......in the end, U WILL DIE AND YOU GURU WILL ALSO DIE. Show me a guru who has not died, show a God who has not died.....(if some are seeing him/her and some are not seing....then definitely, he/she is not like us. And any one who is not like us or atleast resemble like us are considered to be...ya....u know I mean and what they are).
Religion talks about Constitution and laws.......every true Guru talks about laws and tells us to be law abiding. Ur safe journey on road depends on you and the way you follow the traffic rules....if the other person does not follow traffic rules and hits u, the law will address it in a proper way. Yes, though, U r following the rules, U have been made to suffer for others mistakes. The law will consider this and will compensate you in some way. That compensation may not be what you want or not equal to what u have undergone. But do law and lawmakers has any alternative than this. That is the best thing they can do for you in this scenario.
